I have recently purchased 50ml bottle of USA Mix 24mg juice that should have been made by Dekang according to the retailers website. It just so happens that this liquid has that HORRIBLE chemical type smell to it. Some have said its sort of like a bad perfume, but i have no idea what this stuff actually smells like or is. It vapes like PG and has the same feel and consistency to it, but has absolutely no tobacco taste whatsoever, only that horrid industrial taste and smell. Whatever on earth is in this ..... cannot in any way be safe to inhale. it gives me an instant stomach wrenching feeling after just one hit on my PV.
I love vaping as much as the next guy, but im seriously starting to wonder about quality control when it comes to this ejuice and other juice components that people use that come out of china (where quality control and poisonous chemicals are found on a regular basis in places they shouldnt be). considering that ecigarettes arent being currently regulated by anyone in the US, there could be an insane amount of toxins in juice. not saying that there is, but the potential is there considering that the company has no one to stop them, and no repercussions if toxic chemicals, whether intentionally, or accidentally, where introduced into ejuice.
i know that other tests have been done, but i havent heard of one being done on any so called "bad" juice, like the stuff i got.
I was hoping, through the collective knowledge of this forum, that someone could inform me of somewhere i could get a chemical analyses done on a sample of this juice i received. To my limited knowledge, mass spectrometry should be the most accurate way of obtaining the identities of all the elements, and trace chemicals present in this juice. The more accurate the reading of the test, the more substances will be found and the better we can understand whats going on, as even something extremely diluted can be dangerous over time.
Hopefully this could help shed some light on the one fundamental question of PV's.. Are they safe.
in most situations they probably are, but if there was a bad batch of juice like mine, which i hear about quite often.. and someone used high amounts of it, is it just bad tasting and smelling? or is it actually dangerous? i want to find out.
anyone with any information on the above, please feel free to comment or send me a PM with testing locale or anything else you feel might be beneficial.
